your post might be my favorite post of all times!!
Those girls are the same age as all three of my kids!!
Regarding the commercial, believe it or not, but it took 5 days to make that 30 second bit and at one time or another involved 11 people!
We spent one day removing all personal items and such, moving furniture around and covering all windows (there were a LOT of them) with thick plastic sheeting to create night time. One day to set up lights and plan camera angles and such. One day of shooting and two days editing... plus another two days for me to figure out the correct codec for uploading to the site...
A friend of mine and I did the lighting which is a lot harder than you might think. Well, you might know, but you know what I mean. Seemed it was always too "hot" or too many shadows. I worked the camera which is why it's so jerky and out of focus in the last scene... okay okay... it was late in the evening and we were partying...
I did first editing, but had help with the fine tuning... a LOT of fine tuning.
A friend did the first VO (I wasn't crazy about it) and my husband did the last VO.
I seriously doubt we'll win any money, but I learned TONS so it's means a lot to me.
Cute commercial. The beginning and the end scene were funny. Good luck in the contest. The experience always count so either you won...but having a bit of fame doesn't hurt. lol.

Aw what, you mean that lady Zalador or Madam Zelda or whatever her name was you had for your Avatar isn't you? When I read your scripts I used to have visuals of that blonde queen of the dark lounging back in an open coffin out in her backyard under a full moon, tapping away on a laptop.
Doritos commercial very cool and very profesional.
Javier, one person I showed this to before uploading it said "lucky guy! he gets to party with 3 girls and all he had to do was buy some chips!". I loved that comment.
Tonka,
that is me in my avatars (except for this dead flower). Usually current pics too, but I'm not 22!
That was pretty awesome. Looked very professional... No offence, but it was a lot better than I was expecting! I can definitely see the time and effort you put in... so congrats.
What's good with this commercial that it can easily be adapted for non-English-speaking channels. Just change the voice over at the end and you're god to go.
I used a Panasonic HVX200. The camera is fine. The problem was me not being a camera man/woman, but I'll learn as I go along.
The five finalists win 25K each. I'm sure this one will not be one of those though. Last Friday there were less than 400 entries so I was hopeful, but by the time of the deadline there were 1600, so I doubt I have a chance.
